Rumor: ACIV: Black Flag is sub-1080p on Xbox One

Hoo-doo

A few exclusives and because their friends are already on it.
How are your friends already on it if it's not out?

If the PS4 ends up being the dominant platform wouldn't most of your friends be there? Or are they chained to their Live accounts?

Normally I would say we were being petty with this resolution talk but when you ask me to pay $100 more than your competitor for your machine I expect $100 worth EXTRA performance not less. Oh sorry, I'm in India which is obviously a shitty third world country and not the 2nd fastest growing economy so Microsoft has no interest us.
Well.. India is pretty shitty
:lol

But seriously. That hundred dollars is obviously going towards the Kinext. It's quite obvious to everyone that if you're apparently worried about performance, you'll buy a PC PS4. If you're interested in the feature set of the X1 (including Kinext), you'll buy that instead.

Really don't know why people are acting like Microsoft murdered their children. No one is forcing you to buy anything, so if you don't like what the X1 is offering, don't buy it. It couldn't be more simple.

The Xbox One delivers unparalleled historical authenticity, displaying Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag in a resolution commonplace during the 18th century.

Considering the ps4 version has very little improvement from the 360 version visually this, if true, is very surprising. Its like ubi didn't bother making any next gen enhancements this time round (apart from vegetation) so you would think Xbox one could keep up and give the impression at least that its a valid option.

Nice and subtle. I like it.

I'm truly sorry. MS is obviously fucking you, and you are taking it like a champ. Good thing you don't realize that you are not going next gen, and only getting a slight bump from current gen. Be sure to keep your decade old TV so the games at least look a bit better than a Wii U game.
 
To hell with resolution. How fast is the frame-rate?

720p @ 60fps > 1080 @ 30fps. My opinion.

In 2013, 1080p should be an industry standard and anything less worthy of history class

There are loads of these threads now, can't we just keep all this stuff in a single thread where the name of the game just gets changed? :)
"....... is sub-1080p on Xbox One"

Or even to save a bit of time.
"Look, it's not bloody Forza so it's obviously not going to be 1080p on Xbox One"

A year and a half ago if anyone claimed that we would see a good number of games on the next gen Xbox would run at 720p... You would get laughed off the forum. This is just sad.

That's actually not true. There was a very, very large amount of skepticism that these new consoles wouldn't be able to do 1080p. People were predicting 4GB of RAM, etc.

This is Xbox One footage of AC4 and i don't think even XB1 version just "very little improvement" of PS360 version

why bother with 1080p when even tech sites says it doesn't matter its all about the software & services, MS wins next-gen confirmed pack it up Sony you should have went with weaker GPU and DDR3 to save some money!
 
For what it's worth, I asked Ubi PR about AC4's resolution on both next-gen consoles for a story, and they declined to comment. I guess we'll know soon...

Damn, Aaron Greenberg is a moron.

Does anyone else remember when Aaron would be a guest on Larry Hyrb's podcast and they would both downplay 1080p and hdmi on the PS3? I seem to remember that 1080p and hdmi would be frequent questions on the show and they would dismiss the importance of these features.

Holy shit at your tag. How did you get that?

Fooled SmashGAF into thinking I had insider info about 4 times despite the previous 'insider info' never being true. After that last time I think a mod caught on and tagged me.

Declined to comment? Oooo resolution, serious business. Pretty sad as Jim Sterling put it in one of his recent videos that everything has to be a secret in this industry....

I will lay out a rose and pour out a sip from my 40 for those that are that deeply ingrained in the reaming machine that they can't escape the hemorrhoidal tearing torture they will continue to endure.

XBone is turning out to be such a failure of epic proportions. Anyone who still buys one desires the worst possible experience for a most premium price, why would you do that to yourself? :DD

Didn't you buy a Wii U? Insulting people and saying they're buying a system of "such a failure of epic proportions" is a bit ironic/hypocritical isn't it?

I can understand this argument, I just don't see the games people are thrilled about. Another racer, and unproven and strangely delivered fighter, another Dead Rising which has never been a top tier franchise/exclusive, and Ryse which could be something cool but no one really knows yet. I guess some people are really into Forza and Halo.
 
Unless nothing about the PS4 exclusives appeal to you and you like Xbox Exclusives.

Is be surprised if nothing Sony studios put out over the last gen held any interest for people, but I likewise agree the MS studios have had interesting IP, hence why I'll probably pick one up down the road. But for the next few years at least, if this get is anything like the last (and not like the Wii U), most of the games we'll play will be 3rd party, and as result, just like the performance differences on those titles between the 360 and PS3 where the 360 apart always had the better port, it's preferable to play those games on a better performing system. For people without PCs, that's going to be the PS4. That's why I think it's a better first choice. But this is likewise a matter of opinion. Maybe first party games trump all that for you.

I bought a Wii U, and I know it is less powerful than the XBone, but power is not what I expect from Nintendo. MS made a joke console to put up against the PS4 and it fails miserably, but still has some diehard followers that don't know any better.

Your posts have been kind of douchey in this thread. You should probably step outside for a little while or something and see if you need to reorganize your priorities in your life.

Here's what I take away from all this 1080p 900p 720p bullshit that's going on. I think the X1 is more powerful than this. I just think this is more a reflection that devs don't really care about hitting a 1080p native render because they don't think most gamers care. Whether or not it's true is yet to be seen. People have to remember they started developing these games way before any of this shit started, and I don't think most of the resolution wars are extending beyond hardcore gaming communities.

Just wondering, are we going to go through this same thing for every single next gen multiplatform game from now on?

Cue Penello, Greenberg, etc... "Xbox One is for people with bigger houses"

People just aren't ready for their vision of 720p next-gen.

I'm actually starting to feel a little bad for the guys who worked on this. I don't think they ever imagined such a disastrously negative rollout.

That's not entirely incorrect. Imagine if you were getting a game like Portal on the XBONE as an exclusive but it was 720p.
Innovation trumps resolution there. Conversely none of the Microsoft exclusives are anywhere near that unique.

If were going to go for 720p might as well continue supporting the 360, skip a gen.
 
These types of threads are going to get tiresome. Might as well get used to lower res on the bone for the majority of multiplats; the hardware dictates as much.

Yooo, your avy matches the tone of your post.
